feeling of about a year ago

monday placebo

the space of between being in love and suddenly being full of hate
the space where you think of someone and they are right there...
the space between day and night and the seconds inbetween
the space between black white and some colour

small town called "pondicherry"

many memories still linger...
in a small town called "pondy-cherry"...
the lights, the sea, the beer...
summer 2003...

the flags

more copper

another obssession...
did the initials concepts on the sample loom...
and then
wove the whole rug in 4 days...
its about 6 feet by 5 feet...
working on it more....to make it bigger and better...

weaver

these two samples always inspire me...
simple that they are in their own construction...

layered movement

the prints that come from everyday things....

always wondered how the autorickshaw men drove around all day...

the type-writer

NID has a small fabulous collection of old Olivetti's... which are divine to look at.
got permission into this seriously guarded room and shot many detailed photo's of many of the old "qwerty"... and then something large had to happen.... many print explorations and many years later... got very excited when the old photographs surfaced and then we HAD to do something... we had recently also acquired a new terrace apartment, and decoration was prime importance. eventually it turned out to be a good textile product, graphic, and serving its purpose of dividing our living space from the kitchen.
did i forget to mentiion Neha and me painted that... so if any one wants it... hmm...place an order :)

for junuka

these panels were made in early 2004...
very very long ago... for junuka's final presentation.
the presentation has a small panel where one thanks everyone who have helped them through their work, stay and influenced them at school. these panels are usually made by other people for the presenter....
ofcourse i forget to mention she is a great film-maker.....
she did so many shoots for me...
